2001-2014 was an amazing time for games because developers actually cared about content

[@EmergencyChannel]

1997 to 2007 was my favorite decade for gaming. Xbox 360 was an amazing console, basically made indie games on consoles a thing with Xbox Arcade. Too bad Microsoft screwed it all up with the Xbox One. The Xbox One sucking made me convert to PC gaming.

It is so weird to see the Xbox 360 and the PS3 become retro consoles. I grew up in the 90's, Microsoft and Sony were making their cassette players and word processors. For the longest time Nintendo and Sega were the retro consoles, but here we are, now is you time to feel like old.

[@SSJ2LINK]

I played the 360 a LOT with friends all through high school from 2009 to 2012. Hours and hours of Halo 3 and Black Ops. I bought a 360 with controllers earlier in the year to play old games. My friends come over every weekend to play Zombies.

The Wii was my first console, and I even waited in line for it outside of Circuit City as a kid. But even though I got my 360 in 2011 I had so much fun playing split screen with my cousin and relatives, Halo 3, Reach, and Gears 3 in particular. Makes me sad that split screen has been abandoned, it’s what made me get a 360.

[@Devdev009]

Also my live profile photo is still of my classic avatar

[@Evilotto12]

I was in high school when Halo 3 launched and to this day I've never seen a game launch like it. There must of been 75 people outside of GameCrazy waiting to get Halo 3 on launch night. Meeting people and talking about not only Halo but other games they were playing like Gears of War. I also remember how hard it was to get a 360 at launch due to insane demand but got one a few weeks later after launch. I recall getting Perfect dark zero, PGR3 and COD 2 for Christmas that year and loving it. Good times.

[@Jackopher]

Wow that is awesome, I love hearing stories like this. Being a part of the release must have been amazing

[@stormhought]

I didn't grow up Halo or COD, but I had lots of fun playing a ton of lego games and Minecraft with my brothers. My also got a kenect, which we had a racing games that barely worked, and a starwars game.

halo 3 was the perfect game for Xbox Live! I miss late night customs!

[@faithlessberserker5921]

The chat pad was super useful.

[@KongGig]

Xbox 360 Midnight launch events was really on a different level. with midnight launch events such as Halo and Cod. It was like a huge community party at Gamestop when a new halo or cod was released. Another thing was that you could find xbox 360 games at varied supermarket(Heck even some bookstore in my town sold xbox 360 games) at a 10-20$ game shelf with barely exist today.

[@Jackopher]

it sucks, a majority of people don't care for physical media much anymore :(

[@AlexGledhill237]

The media player for CDs was amazing and you could burn it onto the console for free. I loved the 360 era so much. I still play my 360 to this day.

[@girlbyeatornadoisforming]

i was 6 (or 7 i think) when i played my xbox 360 the most (im 14 now), introduced me into the sonic adventure games and minecraft. without this system i probably wouldnt have actually played the adventure games or minecraft until way later

[@leecroft7311]

The 4th-7th generations of gaming was beyond amazing. After that... meh. I don't have many memories before the 4th (born in 83, started playing video games around 1990 with the Game Boy)

I also think the general advertising for video games at the time was massive. Billboards, constant tv commercials, banners, the food promotions, etc. When a big release came out everyone knew about it. Nowadays it's like "Oh, that came out already?". And the commercials weren't just pushing the games but also the console and the brand associated. How many Kevin Butler ads did you see, you know? Not to mention E3 and how much of a blast a lot of people had up until the closing years of it. I think that sense of community is lost and way to divided and opinionated.

[@Jackopher]

perfectly said, I agree 100%. that happened to me when Starfield came out, I was like “huh it’s out?!” 😂 it’s a very different industry than how it used to be

[@aragorn1254]

[@VoodooTrashPanda]

Bruv, Halo visuals with DK64 in the background. You know how to make a man want to get some consoles out of a box. The GameCube to 360 era was the last golden age we had, back then there’d be like a dozen good games a year back-to-back. These days you hope for maybe one game a year to not be a cashgrab “live service” hellhole. I’ve been on a Halo lore kick recently and was looking at the Master Chief Collection, but they don’t have a physical version for PC. I thought: “Hey, I’ve got multiple 360s in a closet, one of ‘em still has a cd drive that works… I hope…” 🧐

[@RedTroPc]

I was born in 07, so i never got to experience the golden days of gaming. But I got an xbox 360 not too long ago. Better late than never

[@larsbjrnson3101]

I have series s and bought all my favorite games digital and they are from the 360 era. I have started to buy them physical for 360/ps3 for retro setup.

[@3ofSpades]

Aqua, Undertow, and Ms. Splosion Man were some of my favorite games from XBLA. I remember my mom got a ton of free games from McDonalds as my kids meal toy since they were going to toss them but I asked her if she could get them for me and I had a lot of fun playing them. It was my introduction to indie games and I had a lot of fun playing them and hanging out with my dogs who liked the boats and howled at the evil squids. Minecraft and Portal 2 were also fun, but I remember Xbox most for MW3 and Star Wars the Force Unleashed. Fun times.

[@IketaniWolf]

I'd play Forza horizon 1 is sadly now the multiplayer is shut down but playing on Xbox for all of those years I still talk to the same knuckleheads I mat since 2016 🤣also along the way reconnected with old friends from that game too 👍

[@kevinrooney3351]

The 2000s as a whole were IMO the golden age of gaming... but the reasons why I think that are a bit different from, and run somewhat counter to, yours. For me, the PS2/GC/Xbox era and the early PS3/360/Wii era were the pinnacle of offline gaming, a time when the design philosophies that arose in the '90s were continually refined and reached their purest form. For me, there was a continuous progression of each new system being better than the last. The PS2 felt like a huge leap over the PS1, and the PS3 felt like just as big a leap over the PS2. Games felt like they were constantly getting better, giving me more for my money with each new generation. OTOH, I've never been nostalgic for online gaming at any point. I was always a PlayStation guy growing up and never had an Xbox, so I'm probably biased here, but I always saw online multiplayer as side content, even when I was in high school and Xbox Live was taking over. Looking back, I always felt like the late '00s, while still a high point for gaming that produced some stone-cold classics, was the beginning of the end when all the money-grubbing garbage we now hate about gaming in general and online gaming in particular was first starting to dig in its claws. (Horse armor, anyone?) And honestly, looking back at how the internet in general has gone to hell since the '00s, I think it was inevitable that online multiplayer would have the negative effects on gaming that it did. Even in the '90s, it was becoming normal for PC games and other software to be shipped unfinished with the knowledge that any bugs could be patched later. Once you had consoles with modems and hard drives, that attitude was normalized throughout the industry. I can't help but cringe nowadays when I see all the utopian promise that people associated with the internet back then, knowing now that, while it did provide us new ways to communicate with each other and distribute independent media, it also became a new frontier for bare-faced greed and lowest-common-denominator garbage. The PS4/Xbox One era was the first console generation where I didn't immediately feel a truly groundbreaking improvement over the prior generation. Yes, the graphics were better, and the worlds were bigger. But this was also the era when day-one patches, microtransactions, always-online games, and "games as a service" became increasingly normal, and when publishers increasingly realized just how far they could go with them. The technology was there, but fewer and fewer people were making use of it. Then again, I was born in 1990, so it might just be my own Y2K-era PS2 nostalgia talking.
